Adam,
just a heads up - this is an excellent post, thank you so much for
taking the time to write it all down and document properly!
I am currently working on having the Qi projects server automatically
generate some files when KiCad files are being committed, such as:
*) schematics electric rules checks
*) layout design rules checks
*) bom
*) svg or png views of the schematics or layout
*) modules position files
As soon as I get that working I will go through your process and files
to see how we can connect the pieces...
Cheers,
Wolfgang
